DJ Ashba quits Guns N' Roses


Recommended Posts


Are we sure that Dj left the band himself or maybe in the backround kicked off the band from Axl with no payment at all?

それはバンドを追い出されたことを彼が明らかになりました。 After he butchered SCOM. I am sure that he gave his pleasantries not to cut off his connections for future profits. Remember Ashba is a business man first.

I know that the banner is a little out dated. Maybe we could blank out Ashba and BBF... and put a Question mark over their blacked out figures.

I can easily adjust my banner when anyone new is announced, but given this is the last lineup it makes sense to keep it the way it is. It is starting to get crowded though. :lol:

Everyone... Please go to the store and buy a 30" monitor for viewing our banner in the future!

IDK, My 28" monitor isn't big enough right now. Maybe I should invest in a large screen TV.

Now that DJ has left it's even more of a mystery why he was hired in the first place. If Axl just wanted a touring guitarist, surely there were more competent candidates? People argue about DJ's existing fanbase but I seriously doubt he brought a huge number of people to GNR gigs who wouldn't have come without him.

There may be more competent guitarists, but most of them are probably more established and more expensive. DJ probably looked appealing because he wasn't a big name, he had an open schedule, he had a modern rock sound (I'm not going to debate the quality, I'm just saying!), and he wasn't someone who could dominate the band with personality or reputation, who could potentially strong-arm Axl into anything. If Axl hired a renowned guitarist with an existing fanbase who was already fairly well off financially, he'd have less incentive to hang around during the quiet times when they're not touring, and he may be more likely to try to whine about wanting to record new stuff when they're off the road. If Zakk Wylde or someone like that joined the band these days it wouldn't be for the money or the touring, it would be because he wants to be part of GN'R and wants to make music. Plus, how appealing is GN'R to big musicians like Wylde who know about the band's recent (lack of) output and constant touring? Wouldn't it be a blow to a more established guitarist to join a seeming legacy act for endless touring?

Just speculation on my end, but it seems fairly obvious to me Axl doesn't want any huge names in the band who can upstage him or be his equal, I'm not saying he views them merely as paid employees but certainly he's the boss and he's trying to spare costs and frustration and hiring relative no-names makes it easier for him to retain full control and they're hungry enough that they need the touring money and will shut up and go along with whatever is being asked of them. Does that seem fair, without coming across as insulting to anyone in the band?

I don't understand why Axl has made any statement about DJ leaving the band and Bumblefoot being out?

I guess since all the original members left, no one cares.

does anyone remember if Axl made any comment after Duff, Izzy and Slash left the band?

How about the following members before DJ and Bumble?

I guess Axl doesn't feel it's worth the time or effort to say anything since either he'll continue to tour with other musicians or just not do anything at all. which sucks.

They deserve it for making such a ridiculous decision.

What's ridiculous about that? It's a classy piece of art celebrating the legacy of one of the great rock bands. Stop being a jealous bitch.

Over time the whole thing will likely get blurred and end up looking Slash anyway.

He had ZERO to do with GNR's legacy for one. Second, with the way this band runs through members, choosing a permanent "piece of art" to celebrate what any fool could tell would be a temporary member is stupid. Completely stupid.

The choices are very clear.

She (I think it is a she) could change Ashba's face into the next cock rocker who decides to join the circus via a tattoo specialist. Or she could change the logo to sixx am. Or she could continue her life insisting that Rio 2011 is the creative peak of the rock band Guns N' Roses. All three options involve a lot of pain.

Well DJ could easily be turned into Slash.

Jesus, fuck. Are you not vaguely aware of me enough after years of posting to understand that I was joking?! I already explained that two posts above yours!
